yes, user name searching gives that result.
as well as other random search words in advanced search. "piston", "valve", "header" etc. i havent tried combos yet.

please make the search function a top priority! i myself use it more then any other feature on here!
oh and any chance you can enable it to go back for more then just 10 pages of results?

ok maybe someone can shed light on the search feature? It is stupid the way it shows you percentages. And the way it shows you what is actually said in the thread. Also forum specific searches do not work now. Such as "ss spoiler" in the for sale.

Instead I get "ss spoiler" responses for people voting in polls etc.

the dot is when your at the forum section with all the topics if you look all the way to the left and see the little envilope it has a black dot for those that you have left a reply at. but now they have a arrow doing a back flip that almost resembles the locked thread if you glance it real quick. thta's why everyone wants teh dot back. we had it alooooong time ago then it went away. people started bitching that they wanted it back, it came back. now with the upgrade people are asking for it agin.

Brian,

Everything looks pretty good overall. Good Job!

I noticed on the Darkside skin that the "New Thread", "Post Reply", "Quote", "Multiquote", and "Quick Reply" icons seem fuzzy on the edges. The other skins don't show it so I'm guessing it's the white part of the gif that only shows up against the dark background. Not a huge deal, I'm sure it's always been there.

Thanks for all the work you've put into it!!!
